Editing Settings

The ''Account'' section is where the player can either register or sign into an [[User Accounts|account]]. If a player is logged in, they can Save their current progress, as well as Load and merge any save data on the same account on other devices. By selecting More, options will be given to Refresh Login (change account), Manage Account (redirects to an external page), and Unlink Account (sign out).

The ''Options'' section contains a variety of options allowing the player to configure certain features to optimize gameplay and performance.

*'''Enable Faster Reset:''' Restarts in 0.5 seconds instead of 1.0 second upon death.

*'''Click On Steps:''' Allows you to click on every step, regardless of your refresh rate. This is beneficial for users below 240 Hz.

*'''Enable Quick Keys:''' Enables some quick temporary bindings until full customization later. Use 'R' for reset, 'CTRL + R' for full reset, and 'P' to toggle hitboxes in practice mode. (Steam only)

*'''Default Mini Icon:''' The mini-cube and mini-ball are set to their default skin before [[Update 2.1]].

*'''Switch Spider Teleport Colour:''' The spider teleport effect's colour can be toggled between Player Colour 1 or 2. When unchecked, it will use the player's secondary colour.

*'''Switch Dash Fire Colour:''' The fire that appears when using a dash ring can be toggled between Player Colour 1 or 2. When unchecked, it will use the player's secondary colour.

*'''Switch Wave Trail Colour:''' The wave trail colour can be toggled between Player Colour 1 or 2. When unchecked, it will use the player's secondary colour.

*'''Hide Playtest text:''' Hides text in the top left when using start positions or ignore damage.

*'''Hide Practice Buttons:''' Hides the checkpoint buttons shown in practice mode.

*'''Hide Attempts:''' Hides the attempt counter when playing levels in practice mode.

*'''Enable Auto-Checkpoints:''' Automatically places checkpoints while in practice mode. The rate varies depending on the form the player uses. ''This is enabled by default.''

*'''Enable Quick Checkpoints:''' Increases the frequency of automatic checkpoint placement in practice mode.

*'''Enable Death Effect:''' Shows death effects in practice mode.

*'''Enable Normal Music in Editor:''' Plays normal music in sync to editor levels in practice mode.

*'''Show Hitboxes:''' Shows hitboxes while in practice mode.

*'''Disable Player Hitbox:''' Disables the player's hitbox in practice mode (if hitboxes are shown).

*'''Increase Maximum Levels:''' Increases maximum locally saved levels from 10 to 100. This refers to level data, not statistics. Enabling this can make your save file considerably larger, so keeping the option off is recommended for quicker saving.

*'''Save Gauntlets:''' Saves gauntlet levels locally so they do not have to be redownloaded. Increases save time but is helpful if you have a poor connection.

*'''Disable Level Saving:''' Saves level statistics as usual, but levels need to be redownloaded every time you restart the game. Makes saving and loading faster.

*'''Audio Fix 01:''' Increases the audio buffer size, which may fix certain issues. Do not enable if audio is working fine. Causes a slightly longer audio delay. Requires restarting to take effect.

*'''Music Offset (MS):''' Adjusts the offset of the audio in milliseconds, should device issues cause it to become unsynchronized with the level.

*'''New Completed Filter:''' Makes the completed levels filter based only on percentage from Update 2.1. Useful to rebeat levels for Mana Orbs.

*'''Manual Level Order:''' Places new levels last in the saved levels list. Useful if you want to move levels to the top manually.

*'''Show Leaderboard Percentage:''' Toggles viewing the leaderboard percentage you have on levels. To upload your level progress to the level leaderboard, you need to replay levels completed before Update 2.11.

*'''Do Not...:''' This option flips the attempt counter and level complete message. In addition, the New Best message is replaced with death messages, listed at the bottom of this page. There is also a new set of completion messages (also listed). This option is the only humorous option and, as the information says, does not do anything important.

The ''Graphics'' section, available only on the Steam version of Geometry Dash, allows graphics quality to be adjusted to optimize performance further.

*'''Fullscreen:''' Changes the display to utilize the entire screen.

*'''Borderless:''' If you click out of the screen, the game does not hide.

*'''Vertical Sync:''' Makes optimizations to prevent screen tearing, although it can increase lag.

*'''Smooth Fix:''' Makes optimizations to prevent screen tearing, although it can increase lag.

The ''Songs'' section, or ''Soundtracks'' when accessed, presents a list of the game's official soundtracks and their respective composers. Viewing items provides links to download each soundtrack as well as links to composers' profiles on Newgrounds, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

The ''Help'' section, or ''Support'' when accessed, contains links to the [http://www.robtopgames.com RobTop Games] and [http://www.cocos2d-x.org Cocos2d-X] websites, along with links to an FAQ and a support email prompter addressed to the [[Robert Topala|developer]]. A ''Low Detail Mode'' option can be toggled to disable interactive particle effects and reduce texture quality to improve device performance. A ''Req'' button that is visible only when logged in confirms the account's status as a level moderator.

*Enabling the 'Do Not...' setting in the Options menu will display special alternative messages upon death (in place of the 'New Best!' text) or upon completing a level (in place of the usual level complete message).
